Need an owners manual...MK4, Series 70

[mastercpo]

I'm picking up a Colt .45 MK4 Series 70 (circa 1976), great pistol, but no box or manual. Since the Colt is not going to be a "safe queen," it makes good sense that I should at least have a manual on hand for general info. I'd like an original for the 1st series 70 (pre 1983 vintage), if its not too cost limiting, but a reprint would do. Any thoughts?

Colt has several different downloadable manuals on their website.

This is for the reproduction S70. I couldn't find a copy of an original.

You might call Colt (1 800 962 Colt) and ask if they have any.

Jack, My pleasure. Hope you win the auction!

The manual was pretty limited. Of course I remember a 1974 Gov. I bought back in 1974. Much more information online now.

Thanks...I have a bid in on an original copy posted in an online auction. The Colt phone number will come in handy, though, as a fall back strategy if I'm out bid. Jack
